Abstract

The purpose of this Act is to provide for the formation, dissolution and governance of irrigation districts in order that the management and delivery of water in the districts occur in an efficient manner that provides for the needs of the users. The purpose of each district, established under section 5, is: (a) to convey and deliver water through the irrigation works of the district in accordance with this Act; (b) to divert and use quantities of water in accordance with the terms and conditions of its licence under the Water Act; (c) to construct, operate and maintain the irrigation works of the district; and (d) to maintain and promote the economic viability of the district. A district may acquire an estate or interest in land by expropriation under the Expropriation Act. Subject to this Act, an irrigator has the right to receive water for irrigation purposes for irrigation acres until the irrigation acres are removed from the assessment roll in accordance with this Act. An owner or a lessee of a parcel of land may enter into agreements with a District as specified in sections 16 to 19 for purposes of water supply. Subject to this Act, an irrigator has the right to receive water for irrigation purposes for irrigation acres until the irrigation acres are removed from the assessment roll in accordance with this Act. The assessment roll shall be prepared by the Manager of the District and must include particulars as set out in section 93.
